We are committed to making music lessons and groups as affordable as possible to the widest audience. We have a range of Bursaries available kindly funded by our generous supporters and fundraising activities. Please contact us to discuss the options available.


  • BMT Bursary 

    We aim to support as many children and young people as possible through a range of bursaries and financial support options. Children in receipt of Pupil Premium or Service Pupil Premium, or whose families receive Tax Credits or Income Support, may be eligible for a 70% discount on lesson and activity fees. Looked After Children and Asylum Seekers are eligible for 100% remission.

    Children with SEND, including those with an EHCP, IEP, or other relevant documentation, who would benefit from individual lessons due to additional needs may be eligible to receive individual lessons at the group lesson rate. We also offer support for exceptional or short-term financial hardship to help ensure continuity of participation. After applying, eligibility will need to be confirmed through the child’s school or by providing relevant documentation.

To qualify your child must not be in receipt of Pupil Premium and you must have a gross household monthly income of less than £3,900 per calendar month (or £46,800pa).

QUOTATION

“My son is lucky enough to be one of the children who receives the bursary, which helps funds his piano lessons. This in turn means I am able to afford to pay for him to have singing lessons and be part of the choir too. I am grateful to the Greenham Trust for the opportunity they have given my son.”
